GOP insanity containment thread 3: more human than strom thurman

Radagast the Brown has fallen on hard times.

That place looks like it would be the sister casino to Diamond Jim’s in Rosamond, CA but with a lot of money instead of no money

I know it was a clever word play, but as someone with a disabled child who rides the small bus to school, I don’t appreciate the Freedom caucus being associated with those kids. If we’re going to look down on people who use the R word, we shouldn’t celebrate jokes that do the same thing with different words

[Thickcut]

Unfortunately people care more about their teams vs principles.

Especially when you have a demographic of people who have been in the top 1% of luck when it comes to where they were born and raised and the amount of opportunities they have.

They don’t actually care about the less privileged, they just shout about it on message boards but the mask always slips.

You’re right. I’m sorry

“I think it’s about consumer protection as well,” Johnson said. “You don’t buy a house without a real estate agent. You don’t buy an IRA or annuities without a financial adviser, and you don’t buy insurance without an agent.”

Not a single true statement here, that’s pretty impressive.

I think something like this is very unlikely, but still possible:

Blue Alaska in this scenario is really weird.

I cannot tell what wokeness is at this point. Wokeness is against big naturals?

[dlk9s]

Maybe I’m a conservative?

[Marksman]

I figured wokeness would burn the bra,

It’s a typo, or whatever the graphical equivalent of a typo is.

Obviously Alaska isn’t going for Biden if over half a dozen states shift from red to blue.

[eyebooger]

BTW, I’m not 100% writing off Alaska for Biden. They have a Democratic rep and had a Democratic senator less than 10 years ago.

I’m certainly not forecasting a Biden win there, but it could be an unexpected sneaky competitive state.

[CanadaMatt3004]

Especially if the reds pull a full shutdown. Alaska is one of the states that really really relies on the government functioning properly.

[darkandcoldak]

There’s a 0.0% chance of Biden winning here.

Ideology is subject to material interests example 22323

Counterpoint - hundreds of thousands of Americans declined to get a free, life saving and safe medical intervention that could save their lives on the basis of ideology.

[NotBruceZ]

Florida had a Democratic Senator until 2019 and Trump won the last two elections 49-48 and 51-48. Rick Scott only won by 10k votes in 2018. Not forecasting a win, but still feels to me like a state which might be more competitive than most here think. Definitely worth spending campaign money there.

[bigt2k4]

If the Cuban/Spanish vote goes Republican then it’s a lost cause, but the Dems need to focus on the non white vote in Florida.

[Riverman]

Dems have been chasing racist white people my whole life because they are “real Americans” while ignoring Hispanics which is like 5x as big and a more natural constituency, absolutely enraging

[NotBruceZ]

Dems are running a (non-Cuban) Hispanic woman for Senate in Florida. She isn’t the favorite, but I think there’s a realistic non-zero chance of her women.

…And about 50 Gazillion x more persuadable.
